# ToDo API in Clojure
The intent of this project is to familiarize myself with Clojure. Not only the language, but also the development process.
## Running
1. Start docker `docker compose up -d`
2. Run `make run`
3. It will run on `localhost:3000`
## REPL Development
In `deps.edn` there is an alias `dev` that allow to run the application and interacts with XTDB.
Start the REPL with the `dev` alias and run:
```clj
(start)
```
It will start the server on port `3000` and hot-reload. However, the hot reload doesn't not work so well so some changes require restarting the REPL.
To stop the server, run:
```clj
(stop)
```
### XTDB
Also, you can interact with the XTDB node using
`xt/submit-tx` and `xt/q`. They are already imported in the namespace and there is a global `node`.
Querying all TODOs:
```clj
(xt/q node '(from :todos [*]))
```
## API
This API is composed of the following endpoints:
- `GET /todos`
- `GET /todos/:id`
- `POST /todos`
- `DELETE /todos/:id`
- `PATCH /todos/:id`
### GET /todos/:id
An TODO object looks like:
```json
{
"description": "my description",
"completed": false,
"title": "My task 2",
"xt/id": "d57087f9-a23f-4e0c-bc9b-1e166dcf75c1"
}
```
### POST /todos
It excepts a payload with `title` and `description`:
```json
{
"title": "My task 5",
"description": "my description"
}
```
It creates an object in the `todos` table with `completed = false` and random UUID to `xt/id`
### PATCH /todos/:id
This endpoint allow to update the `title`, `description`, and the `completed` flag:
```json
{
"completed": false,
"title": "My new task title",
"description": "My new task description"
}
```
## Decisions
I opted for `deps.edn` over `lein` to keep things simple. Lein reminds me a lot of Java projects and after having great DX with Node ecosystem, I want things at least simple.
Using Compojure because seems the most straightforward way of building web applications. However, the reload on file change was tricky to make it work. `ring.middleware.reload` favors variable references and I didn' want to have global variables.
XTDB v2 was used only because of XTQL. I could manage to do all operations with it instead SQL.
